Columbia Prof Calls for Deaths of American Troops

Friday, March 28, 2003

An academic furor was brewing Friday over a Columbia University professor who told thousands of students and faculty that he would like to see the United States defeated in Iraq and suffer "a million Mogadishus" -- referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 Americans.

The professor, Nicholas De Genova, told a "teach-in" on Wednesday that "the only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." De Genova also asserted Americans who call themselves "patriots" are white supremacists.

De Genova's hopes for the defeat of the United States were cheered by the crowd of 3,000, according to newspaper reports. But his mention of the Somali ambush -- "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus" -- was largely met with silence.

Found him. Anyone wants to correspond with this slug, I suggest choosing your words carefully. Or don't.

Note his email address below. He has not seen fit to reply; I do not expect he will, to this one. Maybe he will to number 8,437.

So go to Mogadishu, slime.

Careful, though. You will need to work.
